Photography
Related: About this forumI don't know if this would be of interest, but what about a history thread of the photo group?
Seeing the most recent request for ideas for topics got me to thinking: wouldn't it be interesting to have a pinned thread of all the past topics and winners? I don't know if anyone else would find that interesting, but I do know when it comes to "topic time," it could make for an automatic idea generator.
What do y'all think?
Because this is the photo group, here is a random picture from me....
Edit to add a visual example:

(15,812 posts)I will volunteer to look this up, and post a pinned thread.
It's a super idea!

(22,381 posts)you are amazing?
You contribute here so much in work and deed and in being genuine, I want you to know I appreciate it because it is needed.
I say this with full awareness that your being genuine has taught me you do not like personal comments like this, but I can't help myself and will now crawl back under my rock.

(15,812 posts)I *just* got back from a trip to your neck of the woods. Pretty weather but not a whole lot of time for photography.........Anyway, will copy and paste this and then pin it--very, very helpful! I knew someone had that list.
